Hello, I am on a free trail and trying to create resource group n few resources using OpenAI and i get the following error. I did not deploy any resources before and always deleted all unused resource groups.

Command I tried:-

bash

export MY_OPENAI_RESOURCE_NAME="myOAIResource$RANDOM_ID" az cognitiveservices account create \ --name $MY_OPENAI_RESOURCE_NAME \ --resource-group $MY_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME \ --location $REGION \ --kind OpenAI \ --sku s0 \

Error message:-

ERROR: (InsufficientQuota) Insufficient quota. Cannot create/update/move resource 'myOAIResourceadf053'.

Code: InsufficientQuota

Message: Insufficient quota. Cannot create/update/move resource 'myOAIResourceadf053'.

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    1. Azure Free Trial has strict quotas for certain resources, including Cognitive Services and OpenAI.
    2. OpenAI services often require a quota request approval before use.
    3. Even if you haven’t deployed any resources, the default quota for OpenAI might be 0 for new subscriptions.

    View and request quota:

    For an all-up view of your quota allocations across deployments in a given region, select Management --> Quota in Azure AI Foundry portal (https://ai.azure.com/) :

    Screenshot of the quota UI of Azure AI Foundry

    • Deployment: Model deployments divided by model class.
    • Quota type: Each model type's one quota value per region. The quota covers all versions of that model.
    • Quota allocation: For the quota name, this shows how much quota is used by deployments and the total quota approved for this subscription and region. This amount of quota used is also represented in the bar graph.
    • Request Quota: The icon navigates to this form where requests to increase quota can be submitted.

    For more information about the Quota, please have a look at
